New Delhi: India has constituted a high-level enquiry committee to look into all the relevant aspects regarding the concerns shared by the United States on bilateral security cooperation. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in a statement today that the Indian government will be taking “necessary follow-up action” based on the findings of the enquiry committee.
“We have already said that during the course of discussions with the US on bilateral security cooperation, the US side shared some inputs pertaining to nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others,” Bagchi said in a statement. “We had also indicated that India takes such inputs seriously since they impinge on our national security interests as well, and relevant departments were already examining the issue,” the statement added.
“In this context, it is informed that on 18 November 2023, the Government of India constituted a high-level Enquiry Committee to look into all the relevant aspects of the matter,” the MEA spokesperson said, adding, “Government of India will take necessary follow-up action based on the findings of the Enquiry Committee”.
On November 22, the MEA had informed that the US had shared some inputs pertaining to a “nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others” during the course of recent discussions on India-US security cooperation. Bagchi had said that India takes such inputs seriously since it impinges on its own security interests as well. He said the inputs are the cause of concern for both countries and necessary follow-up action is being taken.
